Long Live the Bull

Claymation (7 Jan 1926 Jahr – 7 Jan 1926 Jahr)
Beschreibung:
Claymation or more accurately mudmation was an early style of animating used to produce moving 3d scenes by moving 3d clay/mud objects slightly for each frame. After the frames are played back we see the objects appear animated. I found this by chance researching my decade while Claymation films have been produced since as early as 1908, the technique is still used today Long Live the Bull is one of the oldest surviving films on record. After watching this play through on you tube I was absolutely fascinated. The amount of time and effort to produce this would be epic. It tells a great story of a man in love vying for affection from his love. To acquire said love he makes friends with a bull to train with. Slower glided ever forth with Written words explaining the next phase of the animation. Though not new for its time it certainly a different take the Wallace and Gromit or Shawn the sheep, building on previous Claymation pioneers such as Henan Smith and Willie Hopkins
